Authority, when first detecting chaos at its heels, will entertain the vilest schemes to save its orderly facade.

Whats sad is that no one will ever outspend the GOP because the GOP worships the concept of capital - there is no inkling of morality that holds them back.

the DNC and party leaders need to start figuring out how to make capital a less relevant factor in success.

But they won’t, so, now what?

"Maria" is rolling up raisins under the hot Madera sun. To earn $70, she has to roll 1,000 sheets! Each row has around 250 sheet. It's hard grueling work walking on the burning sand for hours rolling one sheet after another. #WeFeedYou

I guiltlessly quit books if I’m not enjoying them. I have no innate need to finish a book once I’ve started.

Whether or not you’ve read “The Great Gatsby” I promise you you’ve basically read “The Great Gatsby”

Wondering if Michelle is really that good of a Beatles song or if I just love showing up Paul McCartney by singing with better French pronunciation

[Me, a poor, on the subway, glowering jealously at all those fat cat, fancy pants rich people on the public bus]

Andrew Cuomo tweet:

@ZohranKMamdani's "plan" provides no relief for working families who take the subway, and unnecessary benefits to wealthy New Yorkers who take the bus and can afford the fare.

I focus on working families, while @ZohranKMamdani the mansion boy focuses on helping the rich.

Why does he want a Nobel peace prize

Shouldn’t he care more about an award that involves more gold

I’m gonna need @jamesgunn.bsky.social to direct a group dance number for the cast of every show on TV

It’s SO cute and good and fun and theatrical and the team building and the making sure no one takes themselves too seriously… 👩🏻‍🍳💋

Unbelievable. What’s more, his record company has made a concerted effort to have him featured on multiple tracks from young female artists over the years.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."
